In this embodiment, the case where golf game software is executed on the game machine main body 1 is illustrated. In this embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to golf game software will be described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, role playing such as sports games such as tennis and baseball. The present invention can be applied to any game software that inputs a user operation to an object such as a player or a ball displayed on the screen, such as a 3D scene in a game, and advances the game.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the game apparatus according to the present embodiment is connected to a display 1a, and operates an object displayed on the screen of the display 1a to advance the game. The object here includes a character such as a player who appears in a game and plays a golf game, a ball struck by the player, a virtual camera that shoots in a three-dimensional space, and the like.

  The game machine body 1 is provided with a wireless controller 1c capable of transmitting and receiving signals by wireless communication as an input device for operating signals for operating the object. This controller 1c has a built-in acceleration sensor that detects acceleration in three axial directions, and can detect acceleration in each direction of the controller 1c as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b). An operation signal corresponding to the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor is output to the communication interface 27 of the game machine body 1. The gravitational direction acting on the controller 1c acting on the controller 1c is detected by the operation signal from the controller 1c, and the inclination of the controller 1c can be detected based on the direction. Further, for example, an operation when a bat, a tennis racket, or a golf club is swung can be detected from a centrifugal force acting on the controller 1c. The controller 1c can be connected to a vibrator driven in accordance with a control signal from the main body, an audio output device, light emitting means such as an LED, and other accessories.

  Further, the controller 1c is provided with various operation buttons 1e such as a cross key and an A / B button for performing an input operation, and a speaker 1d for outputting audio information received from the game machine body 1. Is built-in. The controller 1c is provided with display means such as an LED, but may be provided with a display device such as a liquid crystal display. In addition, for example, various menus (main menu, character selection, play mode selection, course selection, etc.) by the output function of these speakers 1d, LEDs, display devices, etc., and the driving means such as a vibrator, etc. The controller 1c at the operator's hand is anthropomorphized like a guide, caddy, or advisor when the golf game proceeds or various operations before the start of the golf game, such as user interface operations.

  The display 1a is a device that outputs a video signal and an audio signal from the game machine main body 1, and can view a game screen and its sound. A graphic user interface 344 for displaying and operating the game is displayed on the screen of the display 1a. The operator can operate the character through the graphic user interface 344.

  The game machine body 1 is an arithmetic processing unit equipped with a CPU, and can be realized by a general-purpose computer such as a personal computer or a dedicated device specialized in functions, such as a mobile computer, PDA (Personal Digital Assistance), portable Includes telephone.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the game machine body 1 includes a CPU 2 that performs arithmetic processing, a storage device 12 such as a hard disk that records data and programs, and a display interface for connection to a display device such as a display 1a. (I / F) 14, data input / output device 15 for inputting / outputting data to / from a recording medium such as a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or memory card, and communication for communicating with an input device such as a wireless controller 1 c An interface (I / F) 27, a light receiving interface (I / F) 1b, and the like are provided.

  In the CPU 2, various modules are constructed by executing the golf game software. Here, the “module” refers to a functional unit that is configured by hardware such as an apparatus or a device, software having the function, or a combination thereof, and achieves a predetermined operation. Specifically, on the CPU 2, a screen game unit 22, a 3D configuration unit 23, a GUI control unit 24, an application execution unit 25, and a 2D configuration unit 26 are constructed by executing golf game software. Is done.

  The application execution unit 25 is a module that executes a program constituting golf game software and advances a golf game with objects arranged in the virtual three-dimensional space 3, and specifically executes the golf game program. As a result, the game progress unit 281 to be described later repeats a predetermined turn, and the game progress management in accordance with the rules of golf (OB is re-stamped with one stroke penalty, shot order control when playing multiple players, etc.), The score is controlled according to the progress result, and the ball launching condition by the hit scanning based on the ability parameter of the character selected by the object control unit 252 for each player and the characteristics of the item such as the golf club. The ball trajectory simulation in the virtual space It executes arithmetic processing Shon.

  In this golf game program, the 3D representation method of the virtual three-dimensional space 3 is used to enhance the realistic sensation of images and the like. However, since the final display 1a is represented in 2D, As an interface that supports space grasping, camerawork moved on a vertical plane along the launch direction is automatically executed, or the plane is expressed in a form associated with a power gauge.

  Then, an operation signal by a user operation is received via the communication interface 27, the light receiving interface 1b, and the controller 1c, the program is advanced according to the condition (input data) acquired by the operation signal, and the game progress is determined. Display information (3D polygon or the like) is generated, and shooting screens 31 to 33 are generated as two-dimensional planes based on various shooting directions, and sound accompanying the display is output.

  The 3D configuration unit 23 is a module that virtually configures the three-dimensional space 3 and controls the coordinate positions of objects and cameras existing on the three-dimensional coordinates 35 in the three-dimensional space 3. The 2D configuration unit 26 is a module that two-dimensionally displays the three-dimensional space 3 on the shooting screens 31 to 33 according to the field of view range of each shooting screen based on the type, area, and shape of the shooting screens 31 to 33. .

  The screen composition unit 22 acquires the data of the three-dimensional space 3 configured by the 3D composition unit 23, causes the 2D composition unit 26 to perform arithmetic processing on the two-dimensional image in the photographing direction based on the operation of the operator, and performs various kinds of photographing directions. This is a module for controlling the shooting screens 31 to 33 based on the screen. Specifically, a virtual camera that defines a field-of-view range is arranged in the three-dimensional space 3, and the 2D composition unit 26 stores the object and the virtual camera positional relationship calculated by the 3D composition unit 23. The imaging screens 31 to 33 are formed with the object imaged by each camera as a two-dimensional plane. In the present embodiment, the shooting screen 33 is a main screen that captures the entire view of the golf hole through the player's shot operation, and the GUI 34 is arranged on the main screen. The shooting screen 32 is a jump screen that captures the vicinity of the arrival point of the ball, and the shooting screen 31 is a top screen that looks down on the hole from above.

  The GUI control unit 24 is a module that is arranged in the shooting screens 31 to 33 (mainly the main screen 33 in this embodiment) and controls a graphic user interface (GUI) for displaying and operating the game. In the present embodiment, an operation for an object (such as a character or a ball) displayed in the display 1a is input by the controller 1c through the GUI, and the golf game is advanced according to the operation.

  The GUI 34 is a graphic mainly displayed on the main shooting screen 33, and as shown in FIG. 3, an icon 341 indicating the progress of the golf game (hole number and conditions), and an icon indicating the distance and direction to the pin 342, icon 343 indicating the wind direction, icon 345 indicating the player's name and results, icon 346 indicating the golf club selected by the operator, icon 347 indicating the state of the ball, and setting for operation signal evaluation (guidance) A guidance icon 348 to be performed, an icon 344 to be operated when performing a shot operation, and the like are included.

  In this embodiment, the icon 347 indicating the state of the ball is the type of lie (fairway, rough, bunker, etc.) where the ball is located, the variation of the ball depending on the type of lie (± 3%), Inclination (toe up, down, left foot up, down, etc.), shows the rotation image of the ball when hit in the current state, and represents the change in spin caused by user operation. In addition to this, the icon 347 may display a hitting point that is displaced according to a user operation.

  In this embodiment, as one of the user operations input by the controller 1c, the striking force and the striking direction (the striking position on the ball surface, the face angle, and the spin operation when the character 35a shots the golf ball 35b) , Shot timing) input. These values are input as input data by an operation on the GUI 34 (mainly the icon 344), and the coordinate position in the three-dimensional space 3 of the golf ball 35b, which is one of the objects, is changed based on the input data. The input data during the shot operation includes a first operation signal that conveys an input value (maximum input value) that changes according to the operation of the operator of the controller 1c, and a second operation signal that changes the maximum input value. It is calculated from the change value by the operation signal (shot timing, face angle, controller swing strength).

  The guidance icon 348 is a GUI for the operation signal evaluation unit 283. For example, the guidance icon 348 is expressed by a character having a controller as a motif or a character such as a caddy, and an operation signal evaluation is performed by performing a selection operation such as clicking. A mode (round lesson) can be started. This operation signal evaluation mode is a function to perform lessons and evaluations for basic operations and specific operations (normal shots, power shots, top spins, draw ball operations, etc.) in parallel with the progress of the game. It is possible to set an evaluation target (lesson theme), a target point, and a degree of achievement by an operator's arbitrary setting operation (such as a selection operation in a lesson list). This lesson theme can be set in units of rounds, holes, or shots, and the theme or units can be changed or ended even during the game. Note that the operation related to the operation signal evaluation mode, such as starting, setting, changing, and ending a round lesson, includes, for example, the telop text display that is displayed at the top and bottom of the screen as appropriate, in addition to the above-described selection operations such as character clicks. Click operation of a part, pressing of a predetermined operation button to which this function is assigned, and setting operation in a general pause menu.

  In this operation signal evaluation mode, once an evaluation target is set, a character string such as a telop, a graph, or the like can be displayed at any time during the game, for example, guidance, advice, target achievement (evaluation score), The voice information corresponding to the evaluation can be output from the controller 1c of the operator who has set it. For example, in the case of a basic operation lesson, the guidance and advice character strings and voice information include guidance such as “Turn the remote control down!”, “Press and hold the A button”, “Swing up”, etc. If it is a lesson of a specific batting method, such as a draw ball, advice such as “open a little more face (turn the controller to the right)” before the shot, “nice shot!” Or “too strong” after the shot, Words according to the degree of divergence from the target value, such as evaluation of “a little more timely”, can be given. In this operation signal evaluation mode, a practice exercise function is provided, and even if the game is in progress, it is possible to simulate a batting operation by swinging without affecting the actual game score. The above advice and evaluation can be received. In this practice exercise function, for example, the voice information suitable for practicing is selected according to the operation signal evaluation by practice, such as “If you aim a little more right”, “If you aim a little more right”, “If you change the club”, etc. The

  On the other hand, the icon 344 will be described in detail. As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the target operation mode when the target icon 35c is operated (FIG. 5A) and the shot operation mode when the shot operation is performed ( (B)) of the figure can be switched. This switching can be made by moving the controller 1c downward while pressing the button 1e to cancel the shot operation mode by releasing the button and returning to the target operation mode.

  The icon 344 includes gauge lines 344a1 and 344a2 that are divided into a plurality of areas and indicate a predicted flight distance (344a2 is additionally displayed in 344a1 in the shot operation mode), and a meat that indicates an effective range of shot operations on the gauge line 344a1. The area 344b, the power gauge 344c indicating the striking force input on the gauge line 344a1, the striking pointer 344d indicating the synchronization delay with the character and the shot timing, and the “power” which adds the striking force according to the acceleration at the time of the shot And a power shot trigger 344e1 for instructing the start of “shot”. The graphic user interface 344 can be displayed with the left and right reversed according to a user operation, and the graphic can be changed in a direction according to the dominant hand of the operator.

  The gauge lines 344a1 and 344a2 are graphics that display the maximum value (flight distance prediction) of the input striking force, and target points 344h1 and 344h2 for marking the striking force desired by the operator (344h1 to 344h2 in the shot operation mode). ), A shot point 344f indicating an appropriate shot timing, and a controller icon 344g for displaying an operation state of the controller by the operator are displayed. The controller icon 344g is a first graphic that displays an input value with a graphic that changes in accordance with the input of the first operation signal. The controller 344g transmits an icon 344g1 that tells the operator how to operate the controller, and the acceleration and inclination of the controller 1c. Is composed of an icon 344g2 expressing the size of the takeback. The controller icon 344g is moved (changed) to the left and right by the first operation signal (acceleration and inclination of the controller 1c) in the first graphic.

  The controller icon 344g can be moved to the power shot trigger 344e1 beyond the target point 344h2 in the first graphic, and the power shot operation is started by reaching the power shot trigger 344e1.

  When the target icon 35c is moved to the target point in the 3D display in the golf hole before the shot motion is started (target operation mode), the target point 344h1 is changed according to the distance from the player to the target icon. Move on 344a1. The target icon 35c is a mark for pointing an expected arrival point of the ball desired by the operator in the three-dimensional space 3, and an expected ballistic line of the ball is indicated between the position of the character 35a and the expected arrival point. .

  In this screen, as shown in FIG. 11, the predicted ballistic line is changed and displayed by the inclination of the controller 1c with respect to the direction of gravity, and the input data is changed based on the changed predicted ballistic line. In other words, in the golf game according to the present embodiment, the trajectory is changed (for example, fade, draw, etc.) depending on how it is gripped, and the ball flight distance, course, required hitting force, and the like are calculated according to the trajectory.

  The target point 344h1 displays the hitting force against the ball required according to the distance to the target icon 35c on the gauge line 344a1 as the target power. The expected trajectory line of this ball is displayed in association with the target power indicated on the gauge line 344a1 as the expected trajectory line 344j. The predicted ballistic line 344j is a line obtained by projecting the predicted ballistic line in the three-dimensional space 3 onto a vertical plane, and is scaled according to the length of the gauge line 344a1 and the display unit (maximum distance). Not only changes in the course (trajectory) due to obstacles and topography are also expressed. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a half swing mode is prepared, and the full swing mode and the half swing mode of the selected golf club can be switched, and the predicted trajectory line 344j also corresponds to the maximum flight distance of each swing mode. The scaling is changed.

  The shot point 344f indicates an appropriate shot point in the meet area 344b displayed on the gauge line 344a2, and an effective shot range before and after the shot point 344f is displayed in the meet area 344b. The effective shot range varies depending on the type of club selected by the operator and the lie of the ball.

  The gauge lines 344a1, 344a2 and the power gauge 344c are graphics that indicate the hitting force that is actually input. The lengths of the gauge lines 344a1, 344a2, and the power gauges 344c are expanded according to the progress of the hitting pointer 344d (the scale of the gauge line 344a). Indicates the maximum value of the input striking force. Furthermore, the gauge lines 344a1 and 344a2 display restrictions on the maximum value of the input value according to the state of the object, that is, the lie of the ball (the turf and terrain situation / state around the ball). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5C, a texture 344i representing a lie is displayed at the end of the gauge line 344a1, and the power gauge 344c does not extend beyond the display portion of the texture 344i and can be input. The maximum hitting force will be limited. The length and image of the texture 344i vary depending on the state of the lie. For example, when the ball is positioned on a bunker or rough, a sand image or a grass image is selected and adjusted to a length corresponding to the difficulty level. The

  The hit pointer 344d determines the input value by the first operation signal at the time of take back in the shot operation, and displays the start of accepting the second operation signal by the change of the figure at the transition from the take back operation to the swing operation. In addition to the second graphic, when a shot operation is performed, the second operation signal is received and the timing for changing the input value determined in the second graphic is combined with the third graphic that displays the change of the graphic. It is a graphic to express. That is, as a specific behavior of the hit pointer 344d, the first graphic moves right on the gauge line 344a so as to track the controller icon 344g, and the second graphic catches up with the controller icon 344g. It reverses and stops at the timing (power) when the shot operation is performed in the third graphic.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 6A, the controller icon 344g2 is moved left and right as the first graphic based on the first operation signal corresponding to the inclination of the controller 1c. At the same time, the player character slowly starts to follow the operator's movement based on the input of the first operation signal, the striking pointer 344d advances, and the power gauge 344c is extended. At this time, a controller icon 344g1 that makes the operator image the operation method (tilt) of the controller 1c is displayed.

  Next, the follow-up of the movement of the character is expressed by a delay (difference) with respect to the controller icon 344g2 of the hit pointer 344d (power gauge 344c), as shown in FIG. Then, in the second graphic, the movement of the operator and the character is synchronized, and when the hit pointer 344d catches up with the controller icon 344g2, the swing pointer 344d automatically changes to the shot icon 344f. The movement is started and reception of the second operation signal is started. Until just before the reversal, the operator can change the position of the controller icon 344g1 by changing the inclination of the controller 1c, and can adjust the timing at which the characters are synchronized, that is, the input value of the striking force. Further, at the time of this inversion, the display of the controller icon 344g2 is switched, and an operation method of “shaking” is notified to the operator.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6C, when the hitting pointer 344d is reversed and moves toward the shot point 344f and passes through the meet area 344b, the operator swings the controller 1c to perform a shot operation. The second operation signal is input, the shot operation is completed, and the striking pointer 344d stops at the input timing (power) position. Note that the swing speed of the controller 1c at the time of a shot is calculated based on the distribution and accumulated value of the second operation signal acquired while the hit pointer 344d passes through the meet area 344b.

  The power shot gauges 344e2 and 344e3 shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C are fourth graphics that further display changes in input values based on the magnitude of acceleration included in the second operation signal. The maximum value of the striking force changed according to the timing is further changed and increased according to the swing speed of the controller 1c at the time of the shot operation. The gauge 344e3 is displayed immediately after the shot.

  And the input data of the striking force with respect to this golf ball 35b is arithmetic-processed by the application execution part 25, and a game progresses with the position change of the said golf ball 35b. FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing a configuration relating to the impact force input system in the application execution unit 25.

  The application execution unit 25 includes an operation signal acquisition unit 255 as a module that acquires and calculates an operation signal input from the controller 1c, and the operation signal acquisition unit 255 receives the inclination of the controller 1c and the operation signal from the operation signal. An acceleration calculation unit 257 and an inclination calculation unit 258 that calculate acceleration, an input analysis unit 259 that analyzes an operation signal from a device such as a button or a key other than a sensor, and a cumulative value that calculates a cumulative value of a signal in a predetermined time width A calculation unit 256 is connected.

  The operation signal acquisition unit 255 is a module that acquires and discriminates various operation signals and distributes necessary signal values from the operation signals to each module, and includes a first operation signal for instructing the start of a shot operation, and the impact force The second operation signal instructing input is received, and the acquired operation signal is input to the gauge control unit 253 through the character synchronization unit 254.

  The acceleration calculation unit 257 and the inclination calculation unit 258 determine the centrifugal force, rotation, and inclination acting on the controller 1c from the acceleration in each direction (X axis, Y axis, Z axis) detected by the acceleration sensor in the controller 1c. This is a module to calculate. In particular, the inclination calculation unit 258 calculates a gravitational direction acting on the controller 1c by an acceleration sensor, and calculates an inclination with respect to the gravitational direction. The cumulative value calculation unit 256 is a module that calculates a cumulative value of operation signals acquired in a certain time. For example, the accumulated value calculation unit 256 obtains an accumulated value of the second operation signal acquired in the meet area 344b, and calculates the striking force based on the accumulated value. As a result, it is possible to detect the acceleration that has continued to act for a certain period of time and prevent erroneous detection of the operation. On the other hand, since the acceleration must be continuously applied for a certain period of time, Therefore, a larger motion is required, and sports performance is improved.

  The input analysis unit 259 is a module that detects an operation signal acquired from a device other than the acceleration sensor. For example, a button operation signal of the controller 1c or a voice input signal is extracted and output to the gauge control unit 253 or other modules. To do.

  In the present embodiment, images of a plurality of angles shot by a virtual camera arranged in the three-dimensional space 3 are displayed on the shooting screens 31 to 33, and an acceleration sensor detects the controller 1c. A camera control function is provided for controlling the shooting direction of the virtual camera according to the acceleration. Here, as shown in FIG. 12, during target control, the controller 1c is directed downward to bring up a shot mode screen (up of the character's feet, the whole body of the character, the shooting screen 33, etc.), and a shooting screen 32 ( The shooting screen 31 (top view) is displayed by displaying (jump view) and facing upward.

  When the camera control function is activated, the operator basically does not perform the shot operation, so that the sound corresponding to the displayed landscape (view) is output according to the operation of the controller 1c (camera switching operation). You may do it. For example, in the jump view or the top view, the cheering or the yaji of the surrounding gallery may be output.

  This camera control function is turned on / off by pressing a predetermined button of the controller 1c, and is in an ON state in a normal display (game progress screen other than shot operation), and is turned OFF by pressing the button. Transition is made to a shot operation (first operation signal acquisition start).

  The input analysis unit 259 analyzes a button press by a user operation and instructs a switching process between the camera control function and the input start of the first operation signal. The input data generation unit 251 and the gauge control unit 253 start a shot operation in response to this switching processing instruction. In the present embodiment, the expected trajectory line is also determined when switching from the camera control function described above to the start of the shot operation. That is, when the camera control function is executed, the expected trajectory line is changed and displayed by tilting (rotating) the controller 1c as shown in FIG. This expresses the grip of the club in golf, and the angle of the club face is obtained by gripping the grip, and the rotation and change (fade and draw) of the ball are reproduced. When the button of the controller 1c is pressed and the operation is detected by the input analysis unit 259, the camera control function shifts to the shot operation, and at the same time, the predicted trajectory line is determined.

  Further, the application execution unit 25 includes a gauge control unit 253, an input data generation unit 251, and an object control unit 252 as modules for generating input data and controlling objects.

  The gauge control unit 253 is a module that performs graphic control such as switching the display form of the graphic user interface 344 and inputs the value of the striking force input through the controller to the input data generation unit 251. The gauge control unit 253 A striking pointer display unit 253a for controlling the operation and display of the striking pointer 344d.

  The 2D configuration unit 26 generates input data from a first operation signal that conveys an input value that is changed according to the operation of the operator of the controller 1c, and a second operation signal that changes the input value. The input data generated here is output to the object control unit 252.

  Further, the gauge control unit 253 includes a function of acquiring the position of the target icon 35c that is moved in the screen. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the target icon 35 c is a mark indicating the arrival position of the ball in the three-dimensional space 3 in the operation during the shot operation, and the target icon 35 c at the arrival position is moved by a user operation. Thus, the two-dimensional movement of the target icon 35c on the screen is acquired, and the target point 344h is displayed according to the distance from the player to the target icon 35c.

  The object control unit 252 calculates the flight distance of the ball based on the input data that has been input, and obtains the coordinates after movement. Based on the coordinates after the movement, the 3D composition unit 23 composes a 3D animation, and based on this, the 2D composition unit 26 generates a two-dimensional image to be displayed two-dimensionally on each photographing screen, and displays the display interface 14. Through the display 11.

  Furthermore, the application execution unit 25 includes a game progression unit 281 as a module for proceeding with the game, and an operation signal evaluation unit 283 and an output information determination unit 284 as modules for evaluating the operation signal.

  The game progression unit 281 is a module that repeats an operation signal input turn that receives an input of an operation signal and an object change turn that changes the display of an object by arithmetic processing according to the operation signal, and advances the game. Yes, and controls the operation of other modules such as the object control unit 252.

  The operation signal evaluation unit 283 is a module that sets an evaluation standard according to an operator's setting operation and evaluates the operation signal by the controller according to the evaluation standard. The output information determination unit 284 is an evaluation performed by the operation signal evaluation unit 283. This is a module that determines the output of audio information according to. In the operation signal input turn, the operation signal evaluation unit 283 acquires the operation signal from the controller 1c via the operation signal acquisition unit 255 and evaluates the operation signal acquired by the operation signal evaluation unit 283. The audio information determined by the output information determination unit 284 according to the evaluation is output from the speaker 1d of the controller 1c to which the operation signal is input.

  For example, when a player performs a shot operation of a golf game, guidance such as advice can be output sequentially when the player holds the controller 1c, and the controller can be anthropomorphic as an advisor such as a caddy.

  In addition, when a plurality of controllers 1c are connected, the object control unit 252 includes a gallery control unit 282 that determines the output of audio information assigned to each controller or the operation of the object in accordance with an operation signal from each controller. I have. The gallery control unit 282 executes output of audio information assigned to the other controller or operation of the object in response to an operation signal from another controller in an operation signal input turn to a certain controller.

  According to the gallery control unit 282, when a plurality of operators participate in a game using their respective controllers, an operation signal input turn of a certain player (when an operation other than a shot operation (in the target operation mode) Etc.)), other players waiting for the turn will shake their controllers and output cheering, yaji, advice, etc. In this case, the controller includes a controller provided in another game device connected to the game device through a communication line, and the game progression unit 281 performs synchronization processing with another game device. The same game is advanced between a plurality of game devices.

(Game device control method and object operation method)
By operating the game apparatus having the above configuration, the object operation method and the game apparatus control method of the present invention can be implemented. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a game progress process, and FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an input process during a shot operation in the game apparatus according to the present embodiment.

  Basically, as shown in FIG. 9, an operation signal input turn (S100) for receiving an input of an operation signal and an object change turn (S205) for changing the display of an object by a calculation process according to the operation signal are predetermined. The operator is sequentially changed according to the rules (S206), and the game is repeated.

  In step S100, the target operation / gallery control (S114) and the shot operation mode (S200) are repeated by a loop process, and the transition to the object change turn in step S205 is made when the shot operation ends in the shot operation mode.

  In the target operation mode (S114), the target icon 35c is moved to the target point in the 3D display in the golf hole before starting the shot operation. Thus, an expected ballistic line of the ball is shown between the position of the character 35a and the target icon 35c (estimated point of arrival). In the gallery control in S114, in the operation signal input turn for a certain controller, the gallery control unit 282 outputs the audio information assigned to the other controller or the object according to the operation signal from the other controller. Execute the operation. For example, while a certain player is executing the target operation mode, another player waiting for the turn operates his / her controller to output cheering, yaji, advice, and the like.

  In step S101, it is determined whether or not the shot operation is started by monitoring the operation of the operator, and the controller 1c is directed downward while pressing the operator's address operation (A button or B button). The operation shifts to the shot operation mode (S200). At this time, when the A button is pressed, the actual shot (a shot in which the ball is hit) is made, and when the B button is pressed, the swing is made (a shot in which the ball is not actually hit). Also, in this step S101, when the operator starts the takeback operation while pressing the button of the controller 1c, the camera control function is turned off and the mode is changed to the shot operation mode (first operation signal acquisition start) (in S101). “Y”). The inclination of the controller 1c when this button is pressed is detected, and an expected trajectory line corresponding to the club face angle is determined. Note that the gallery control and the target operation mode are terminated by the transition to the shot operation mode.

In the shot operation mode (S200), the shot operation process (S102 to S113) shown in FIG. 10 and the operation signal evaluation process (S201 to S203) are executed in parallel.
In the operation signal evaluation process, the operation signal acquisition unit 255 acquires an operation signal (S201), evaluates the acquired operation signal according to the evaluation criteria (S202), and operates the voice information determined according to the evaluation as an operation. The signal is output from the speaker 1d of the controller to which the signal is input (S203). This evaluation criterion is to select an operation to be evaluated through the icon 343 and set a target value corresponding to the operation to be evaluated as a threshold value. The evaluation process calculates the value of the input operation signal and the threshold value. Compare and evaluate whether the goal is achieved and how to achieve it.

  Next, in step S203, the output of audio information corresponding to the evaluation in the operation signal evaluation step (S202) is determined. This voice information is a database storing voice data of guidance. In the output determination process, the voice data is selected according to the selected evaluation target operation, the target value, and the deviation value from the target value, and the voice data is called. .

  In the shot operation mode, when the operator performs a takeback operation and raises the controller 1c in step S101, the operation signal acquisition unit 255 acquires a first operation signal corresponding to the inclination of the controller 1c (S102). .

  Based on the first operation signal, the controller icon 344g is moved to the left and right (S104), and the character slowly starts a takeback operation to follow the operation of the operator based on the input of the first operation signal. Then, the follow-up of this character's movement is displayed as a delay (difference) of the hitting pointer 344d with respect to the controller icon 344g.

  During this time, the operator continues to press the button of the controller 1c ("N" in step S105), but when the button is released ("Y" in step S105), the swing operation is stopped (cancelled), and the process returns to step S101. It is possible to return and redo the operation.

  The first operation signal is continuously acquired without being canceled and the character motion synchronization is not completed and a difference is generated ("N" in step S106), and the operator can control the controller 1c. By changing the inclination, the position of the controller icon 344g can be changed, and the timing at which the characters are synchronized, that is, the input value of the striking force can be adjusted. At this time, depending on the lie of the ball, the texture 344i corresponding to the lie of the ball is displayed on the gauge line 344a, thereby limiting the length of the power gauge 344c and the impact force input by the takeback. Maximum value is limited.

  Then, when the movement of the operator and the character is synchronized and the hit pointer 344d catches up with the controller icon 344g (“Y” in S106), the maximum input value (maximum hitting force value) based on the first operation signal is determined ( S107), and automatically shifts to the swing operation. In this swing operation, the striking pointer 344d is reversed and starts moving toward the shot point 344f (S108). The speed after the reversal of the hit pointer 344d differs depending on the reversal point. The greater the hitting force, the faster the speed after the reversal, and the speed further increases as the power line exceeds the gauge line 344a and approaches the power shot gauge 344e side. It is going to go up. That is, if the gauge line 344a is exceeded, the striking force increases, but the speed after reversal increases accordingly, and the timing of just meet becomes difficult. At this time, if the reversal point has reached the power shot gauge 344e, power shot is possible.

  Next, the hitting pointer 344d moves toward the shot point 344f at a speed corresponding to the reversal point, reaches the meet area 344b, and repeatedly receives the second operation signal by loop processing while passing therethrough. ("N" in S109 and S110). When the operator swings the controller 1c to perform a shot operation while passing through the meet area 344b, a second operation signal is acquired (“Y” in S109), the shot operation is completed, and the hit pointer 344d. Stops (S111). Note that the swing speed of the controller 1c at the time of a shot is calculated from the distribution and cumulative value of the second operation signal acquired while the hit pointer 344d passes through the meet area 344b.

  On the other hand, if the second operation signal is not acquired in step S109 and the meat area 344b is passed (“Y” in S110), the value of the second operation signal is forcibly determined and the shot operation is executed. (S111). The input value at the time of this forced shot may be calculated by a random number, for example, or may be a minimum value.

When both the first operation signal and the second operation signal are acquired in step S108, input data is generated (S112). At this time, the value of the first operation signal (maximum value of the striking force) is corrected by the shot timing, the face angle, and the spin operation (S111), and further, when the second operation signal is acquired (shot) It is increased by the swing speed of the controller 1c during operation. The increased power is displayed on the power shot gauge 344e immediately after the shot operation (S113).
Thereafter, when the shot operation is the actual shot, the shot operation (subroutine S200) is ended and the process returns to S100 ("N" in S204). When the shot operation is a swing, the step in S100 Returning to S114 ("Y" in S204), the target operation and the gallery control are resumed, and the next shot operation is started (S101).

  When the shot operation is the actual shot, when the shot operation is finished, the shot signal is exited from the loop of the operation signal input turn S100, and the process proceeds to the object change turn S205. In this object change turn S205, the flight distance, the hitting direction, the trajectory course, the rotation of the ball, the behavior after landing, and the like are calculated according to the generated input data (the maximum hit value and the changed value). Object control (ball movement) is executed, and the next player is changed (S206).

(Object control program)
The above-described game device, its control method, and object control method according to the present embodiment can be realized by executing a program described in a predetermined language on a computer. That is, by installing this program on a computer such as a user terminal or a Web server or an IC chip and executing it on the CPU 2, a system having the above-described functions can be easily constructed. This program can be distributed through a communication line, for example, and can be transferred as a package application that operates on a stand-alone computer.

  Such a program can be recorded on a recording medium readable by a personal computer, and the above-described game apparatus and object control method can be implemented using a general-purpose computer or a dedicated computer. The program can be easily stored, transported and installed.

(Action / Effect)
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when an operator holds the controller 1c in an attempt to input an operation signal in the operation signal input turn, the operation signal is evaluated and the speaker 1d of the controller 1c at hand is evaluated. In addition, while the game is in progress, voices corresponding to input operations such as sequential guidance and advice are output, so that the controller can be anthropomorphic as an advisor such as a caddy and can enhance the sense of reality of golf , Can help to improve the game properly.

  Further, in this embodiment, when a plurality of operators participate in a game using their respective controllers 1c, when another player's turn comes, other players waiting for the turn By operating your own controller 1c, you can output cheering, yaji, advice, etc., you can personify the controller of other players as a gallery, and improve the realism and entertainment of the game Can do.

  In the present embodiment, the controller 1c incorporating the acceleration sensor is used to input a plurality of actions such as swing and shot from a takeback in a golf game as a series of actions. Only the start of the motion and the final motion are detected as the first operation signal and the second operation signal, and the transition between the motions can be timed by synchronization with the character motion (second graphic). it can. For this reason, according to the present embodiment, an operation that determines transition between movements that is essentially unnecessary in actual sports can be omitted, and an important operation signal that determines input data is closer to the actual sports. Can be obtained by:

  In particular, in this embodiment, the operation of the character in the screen is synchronized with the operation of the operator, and the operation signal regarding the next operation is received, so that the operator feels unity with the character in the screen. While feeling, it is possible to transition to the input of the operation signal by the next operation naturally.

In the above embodiment, when the second operation signal is received through the power shot gauge 344e (fourth graphic), not only the input timing but also the strength (large or small) of the operation is acquired, and the acquisition result Can be transmitted to the operator, and the game can be diversified. In this embodiment, since the maximum value of the striking force is determined by synchronizing with the character at the time of takeback, even if the operation at this takeback fails, the speed of the swing when the second operation signal is input The hitting force can be increased. As a result, the striking force can be further adjusted by the swing speed (strength) of the controller 1c, and the game performance can be improved while maintaining a realistic operational feeling. Also, on the gauge line 344a, The maximum takeback value is limited by the texture 344i depending on the lie (turf and terrain conditions and conditions around the ball), so the environment and obstacles in the golf hole can be reproduced with difficulty in operation. , Can improve the game.

(Example of change)
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made. For example, in the above embodiment, the second graphic is shifted to accepting the second operation signal by synchronizing the operator's movement and the character. For example, the time from when the first operation signal is input is used. The progress may be displayed, and the graphic may be displayed to confirm the input value and start receiving the second operation signal after a predetermined time has elapsed. In this case, the transition from the first operation to the next operation can be expressed by the passage of time such as a timer, and the transition between the operations can be expressed simply and easily.

The second graphic may be a display that prompts the user to determine power by pressing the A button of the controller 1c. In this case, in the third graphic, the impact may be made by swinging in time with the gauge that has started to move. Furthermore, the second graphic may represent that the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor is reversed. That is, when the inclination or acceleration of the controller 1c starts to return in reverse, it is detected that the takeback has shifted to the swing, and the power is determined when the acceleration is reversed. Furthermore, the input value of the first operation signal may be determined in advance. For example, the value at the time of setting the ball arrival point by moving the target icon described above may be used as the value of the first operation signal as it is. In this case, the takeback operation is unnecessary, and only the timing at the time of swing is measured.
In the present embodiment, the value of the second operation signal is obtained as a cumulative value for a predetermined time. However, the value of the second operation signal may be determined by instantaneous acceleration (swing intensity). Good.

  Further, the difference between the character's motion and the operator's motion may be expressed by double display of the character. In other words, the actual character actually operated by the operator and the character that follows the action with a delay are displayed twice. At this time, the takeback (power) is expressed by the inclination of the controller 1c, and “catch-up condition” different from that is separately displayed. For example, it may be possible to display an impact determination gauge (determined at 100%) of the basic ascending movement, a gauge that decreases in conjunction with an increase in power, or an explanation that does not associate two objects, power and catch-up. At this time, the impact determination gauge of the basic ascending motion may be decreased according to the angular momentum of the input device.
